It's a teeny bit larger than I'd expect of a Medium - but then I'd never tried this label before so wasn't to know; up or down for me with this style really doesn't matter. I liked it so much I bought another ALC jumper a week later and added them to my favourites. I live in knits through winter so love finding something a little different that's effortless to wear but feels a little dressed up. Very happy with my purchase and discovery.

As it's winter here in Australia I'm wearing a fitted black long-sleeved tee under this, a long cardi (dark brown works) over the top and a Love Quotes scarf. I wear with jodphur leggings but will get around to jeans, and also a long skirt. Easy to 'unlayer' for warm weather so great for travel. And of course no ironing. The folds give it an interesting touch, Helmut Lang knows how to do cool tops. And even though it's a 'v' the neckline is nice and high so the skin isn't exposed to sun. I love colours like this - they go with so much and never look boring.

This is gorgeous, light (great for travel), warm and is a really nice shape. It doesn't look at all bulky but the great thing is I can fit a long-sleeve T underneath no trouble. The only reason I haven't put 5 stars is I'm waiting for a few more wears - so many (far more expensive) knits pill these days (eg a $700 Max Mara cashmere). If this stays good quality I'll definitely be buying more - hope it remains a Bop Basic.

Can never go wrong with scarves - and this comes close to replacing a favourite plain grey wool one that I lost last winter. And I was intrigued to see how many people just love these scarves. So many reviews - cute. I can see why this is a popular item.

Even though I generally buy small in tops I often go up to medium for jumpers/sweaters. But small for this was perfect - the style wouldn't work if at all loose. I wouldn't have bought this at full price but at 70% off it's a guilt-free addition to my wardrobe.

Doesn't look quite as good as in the photos but probably because it will depend on your face shape and most importantly hair length. I knew I was taking a risk (but for hardly a lot of money) as I've now got shortish hair and this would look better (as in the photo) on someone with long hair. Still, it's a useful addition to my hat wardrobe as it's nice and small to carry around for 'just in case'. When it's cold I have no vanity so I'll be wearing this even if I don't look like the model!

This is fun but don't consider it if you're at all petite. I'm 172cm tall and even with highish heels the skirt is very long; I don't like clothes dragging on the ground so will only wear it with heels and as high on the waist as possible. Looks good with Opening Ceremony clog booties but suits strappy heels too. Versatile enough to wear summer or winter. It's Autumn here and I'll be wearing it next with a short knit top and (vintage rabbit) fur jacket. The detailing is nice and as it appears on the images.

Lovely dark olive green, nice little zipper detail at pockets and ankles - a little like a capri pant but stretch: the classic legging (which can be surprsingly hard to find). One disppointment is that a (very) small part of the stitching on one inside leg is 'loose' and will need fixing at some time - but really, for the price it's not a big deal; I've had far worse with big name Italian labels.
